Description
State Food Crimes by Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann explores how governments have introduced policies that cause malnutrition and starvation among their citizens and others for whom they are responsible. The book examines historical cases, including communist famines in Ukraine, China, and Cambodia, as well as contemporary examples such as starvation in North Korea and malnutrition in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and the West Bank and Gaza. A detailed analysis of international human rights law, sanctions, food aid, and civil and political rights is presented, with a focus on the right to food. The book concludes by considering the need for a new international treaty on this fundamental human right. This study sheds light on a critical issue that affects millions of people worldwide, highlighting the importance of governments' responsibilities towards their citizens' basic needs.
